The aerobic actinomycetes are a large group of soil-inhabiting bacteria that occur worldwide. Some of them are the main cause of two important diseases, nocardiosis and actinomycetoma. To identify the prevalence and geographic distribution of aerobic actinomycetes in soil of Qazvin province, a study was carried out during 2006-2007. In this study, the incidence and diversity of medically import...

the development of the eco friendly procedures makes nanoparticles as the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. amongst, the silver nanoparticles have become prominent in the field of medicine to their peculiar antimicrobial properties. in the present study we suggest an eco friendly procedure of extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles with an average sizes of 5-50nm using an actinom...

Periodontal diseases are very common among the people of all ages and also a proof of oral hygiene maintenance practice. A variety of microorganisms are found in human oral cavity which can often cause periodontitis, cavities, gingivitis, mineralization of tooth and other oral diseases. Current study was carried out to determine which microbes are responsible for dental carries among the patien...

AIM This study was aimed to characterize putative differences of fecal microbiota between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroenteritis patients and healthy controls. BACKGROUND New evidence proposed that gut microbiota has a deep effect on the balance between health and disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS The presence of Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter spp., Enterobacteriacea and Staph...

Protease activity of actinomycetes isolated from various soil types of Georgia has been studied. Protease activity strains have been identified among mesophilic and extremophilic actinomycetes. Some strains of mesophilic, alkaliphilic and halophilic actinomycetes are characterized by alkaline protease activity. Their pH optimum for enzyme activity is 10-11. Strains of mesophilic actinomycetes: ...

A main objective of the present study was to isolate and identify the antibacterial activity of actinomycetes strains obtained from terrestrial habitat and to utilize the antibacterial production profitably for the eradication of pathogens which cause disease to human being. The actinomycetes strains were isolated from terrestrial soil sample of King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Ar...

The present study aimed to identify the effect of heavy metal concentration and soil pH on the abundance of the selected soil microorganisms within ArcelorMittal Poland steelworks, Cracow. The analysis included 20 soil samples, where the concentration of Fe, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Mn, Cr and soil pH were evaluated together with the number of mesophilic bacteria, fungi, Actinomycetes and Azotobacte...

Fusarium spp. damages the roots of crops, its control is with synthetic fungicides, however, marine actinomycetes can be an option to use agrochemicals. The objective this work was identification and morphological characterization as antagonists solani (Mart.) Sacc. isolated from diseased tomato plants mangrove sediment actinomycetes, both identified through taxonomic keys molecular techniques....
